This is a crusty 70 challenger RT I picked up in 1993.My 14 year old son drug it out of the shed it`s sat in for the last 19 years and started cleaning and pulling pieces off the car.One thing led to another and I took it over to a friends shop and let them have at it.We`re kinda doing this the way my son wants as he has allways claimed this car and played in it from the time he could walk.It was a 383 4spd with a rare V9Y yellow Bumble Bee stripe.He didn`t like the yellow stripe and is going with the tape side stripes with the thought he could switch back at a later date.We also added power brakes,a passenger mirror and 440 Sixpack.I`m glad he drug it out and got things rolling while it was still could be saved.It was getting pretty bad.It was bad 19 years ago.

Welcome aboard!

Fantastic project. Gotta love it when the young guns get involved with the cars.

Thanks My kids love the Mopars. They`ve gone to shows from when they were babies.They look forward to Mopars in the Park and Good Guys Heartland Nationals.This is them with our Cuda and Charger.Also,we all tried real hard to get the yellow stripe back on but couldn`t talk him into it.
